Event Overview:
Following the success of previous PFAS Summits organised by LCGC, we have organised another interactive, two-day symposium in 2024 where laboratory scientists involved in PFAS analysis can learn about the latest techniques and best practices to tackle this serious problem in relation to the analysis of PFAS in food and environmental samples. We have a morning and afternoon session each day. There will be live Q&A following the morning sessions.
Top Reasons to Attend
- Learn the latest “state-of the-art” separation science techniques to analyse PFAS
- Leading scientists reveal the cutting-edge chromatographic techniques used to analyse PFAS in food and environmental applications
